Students are on holiday so no riots from them till september and there are no G20 or G8 meetings in the uk any time soon so those nutters are also slumbering.
I think Chicago is getting a G20 or G8 soon, which I'm not looking forward to at all  - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring |

So helping the kid up and then taking all the **** out of his backpack makes them somehow better than mindless thugs? - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring |

I'm almost tempted to go out and get some guns personally, seems like the world is going further and further to **** exponentially every year...I wouldn't doubt that there may be a real possibility of the collapse of western civilization hanging on the horizon.
...although didn't this **** happen over in the UK a lot in the 1970s too? - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring |

Never happen, people in this country are too busy texting and finding out who is sleeping with who to care. - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring |

Originally by: Karloth Valois Seriously stop saying a solution is to relax gun laws, because as the guy above mentioned the rioters will have guns too, so then you just have more problems for both sides. Also this started becauseof a shooting, why do we want more?
No offence to Americans in here, but its hard to take Gun Control advice from a country with one of the highest levels of gun crime in the world, and one of the highest murder rates
Gun crime is significantly lower in places where the gun laws are lax generally. Probably why there aren't as many riots either...just sayin... - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring |

Originally by: Bart Starr but I have a feeling if some poor corner-grocery clerk shot an intruding thug, he'd be in more trouble than ANY of the members of the mob.
And what if a member of the public staggered into an empty looted shop to hide from the mob and ended up being killed? Americans always talk the good talk about how everyone can be bad ass gunslingers defending themselves at the ok corral and completely forget that most people in these situations are scared and untrained.
The police shooting that sparked the initial riots have shown that even highly trained firearms officers can get confused in the heat of the moment because they where convinced they where fired upon.
The LA riots are the perfect example of why Britain's firearms laws do in fact work, we have had savage riots as often as the US but the death toll is always very, very low if anyone actually dies at all, usually there are 1-2 deaths max. If people where running around with guns we would have had blood baths like in the US.
LA riots happened 20 years ago, and well, there have been 13 riots in the US since, and most of them happened on college campuses/areas, and were pretty much drunkeness gone out of control. There have been maybe 1 or two that weren't related to stupid college kids getting drunk for the most part. Fatalities from most riots haven't been because of our gun laws either...
...you guys on the other hand seem to be putting on some form of rioting every few months lately... - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring |

So far, the UK is up on the US in number of riots, especially recently. - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring |

Well, there was one for Rodney King in the 90's...
Yeah, I was thinking about one much further back in the 60's... nvm.
Yeah I was counting after that one b/c someone mentioned that one earlier and I was responding to that particular comment.
Most of the rioting in England proper and the US is over sports though, go figure ...Ireland on the other hand, well it's Ireland and they have a whole mess of issues going back 800 years or so. - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring |

lol, And?
Just pointing out that gun ownership makes it easier for the bad guys to get guns and simultaneously points out a fallacy that guns somehow prevent crime...nothing like having your own gun stolen from you to point that out.
It doesn't actually, look at Canada and their gun laws and the amount of weaponry getting into the wrong hands.
The only problem with US gun laws is the fact that gun shows are very unregulated. If those loopholes were closed you'd see less guns reaching those who shouldn't have one. - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring |

Originally by: Nimrod Nemesis I honestly feel safer because Herzog is here with his gun posts.
It's an exellent distraction from the facts about what is going on.

On a side note, I'm reconsidering owning a Blackberry at the moment: http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/web/08/09/london.rioting/index.html?hpt=te_r1
If they're willing to just disclose any and all text messages that "may be related" and I just happen to be somewhere something like this happens, I don't think I'd appreciate police showing up on my doorstep because I text a friend of mine about a video game and say, "zomg i gotz all teh phat lewtz!" - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring |

Originally by: Grimpak I still feel mankind, as a whole, should suffer some sort of cataclysm (meteors coming crashing into us, somebody shooting nukes, bananaphones being released, etc..) so that it could get a culling.
and I do mean a nasty one, back to 1/10th of what we are now.
No one in their right mind would want to live through that though. - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring |
